Post your best bird shots!

Thanks for complimenting my hawk folks....it's been a unique experience being able to have one so close to shoot. S/he's visits are becoming less frequent as it matures, but it does come back to the big pine to roost once in awhile.


I put an Oriole feeder (oranges and jelly) in my HB garden and discovered Catbirds like jelly....never knew this fact.

As is my issue w/posting a pic here the IQ and colors drops on my monitor. I use the insert tool to post my pix....any thoughts on how to improve my postings on this site or is it just my viewing?


Thanks for looking

I like the shot Bill. It's different than others. It almost looks like you made this very early or very late during the day. (although I'm not sure this is intended)

Bill, hope you don't mind if I jump in on this bandwagon.


On these shots I put away the 500 and pulled out the 100 F2.8 L IS--I'm thinking I like it, and the birds don't seem to mind it only two-three feet away.

Oh Denise, I really appreciate your vote of confidence, but if you only new the truth[:S]........What I post on here is usually 1 or 2 shots out of a hundred, maybe several hundred. But I do like em when someone else likes em.


Thanks again,


Bob


P.S. you are really getting good at your songbird photos---Joel, Standby, you have competition.

Ha! Ha! Thanks Bob but I don't think Joel has anything to fear from me!


Actually, I am on a few day streak of not being able to get anything right! I go thru spurts of good and bad days ...here's a bad one (today)!
